It was an interesting trip on the ride home.
At one of the stops some kids boarded, they were about high school age. As one of them passed he yelled,
“Don’t vote for Trump!”
He kept moving around to different seats behind me and saying it, then he got right behind me, shouting right into my ears.
“Don’t vote for Trump!”
“Don’t vote for Trump!”
“Don’t vote for Trump!”
Finally, I turned around and asked him why he seems to be directing this at me. And before he could answer I simply asked,
“Is it because i am the only white person on the train at the moment?”
He looked dead in my face and said,
“Yes, you look like a racist Trump follower.”
I laughed and said,
“First off I never liked the A‑hole and I sure as hell am not voting for him.
“As for being racist, I’m afraid the only one here that is acting that way is you for profiling me as a Trump follower – just for the sole reason that I am white.”
He gave me a dirty look –
And one of his friends smacked him in the head and told him to just shut up and leave me alone.
We rode in silence the rest of the way until they got off.
The friend that hit him apologized to me,
“Don’t mind him, he’s an idiot.”
